Lisbon Cork Co. Ltd. Fine Cork Flooring combines the beauty of a natural material with the comfort of a cushioned surface.It is durable, acoustical, and a great insulator. The bark of the cork tree is peeled without destroying the tree and it grows back within nine years, ready to be harvested again.Warm to the touch and resilient, cork floors are a joy to live with.It is considered a green product because the same tree can be harvested numerous times.

Don't forget the molding and stair treads!Click here to find our extensive selection of moldings & accessories for you to match wood species to your new floor.(Who else can do that?)

We installed this product in the playroom, using the ecosilent foam underlayment. I was hoping it would be a hard floor (easy clean) that would have sound deadening properties, because it's a large room with a vaulted ceiling. Maybe it helped a bit. Playrooms are loud, I guess :).

I love this floor! It looks elegant. I think it's better than hardwood because it gives a similar impression, but it's warmer in bare feet and more comfortable to walk on. Also, it is smooth, but NOT slippery. This would be great for families with toddlers or older people who are concerned about falling. It seems to be holding up to traffic from my large dogs as well.

We ordered 10% extra as recommended. I guess my husband is a genius, or something, because we only had 3' of scrap left over. He does have ALOT of experience with construction and renovation. It was so easy to install that my young teen helped. We installed this in the playroom and spare bedroom in two days. I plan to use the extra to replace the floor in my kitchen.

A couple of the planks did not lay perfectly flat at the edges. If I had it to do over, I would have thrown these out, because the rest of the seams are completely invisible.

All of our flooring products are designed to be installed in climate controlled environment.Being a natural product it will be subject to the effects of temperature and humidity. If proper heat and humidity levels are not maintained your flooring may shift, shrink, expand, gap or buckle. Thank you for your inquiry.

Q:

Can cork be installed in a sunroom (has blinds for the sun) if the temps get higher/lower than the rest of the house as it is not HVAC'd (no aircond/heating). We are in the Sacramento/Calif. area with temps of 30 -100 degrees outside. There is 1/2 inch plywood subfloor and it has a wall common to the house area with HVAC.

Cork flooring can be very resilient and holds up well, however, this depends on the cat in question. In my experience some can destroy many a piece of furniture and may be able to damage this flooring. However it seems unlikely because of the 7 coats of urethane sealer on the cork.

I am interested in a cork floor for a basement level bedroom. What maintenance is required for a cork floor? Will I have to reseal it regularly? Do I just sweep it with a vacuum regularly? Can it be damp mopped?

No resealing is necessary. For general cleaning a swiffer type system works best. Not one that sprays the floor however. Lightly damp is fine but never soak or flood mop your floor. Do not use steam mops. Have a no shoes policy as much as possible. Use felt pads on all furniture. Sweep often.
